Frequently asked questions and definitions to technical terms.
1. What is meant by the term "Reproducible Copy" or "Vellums" ?
When a Home plan service refers to "Reproducible copies" or "Vellums", They are referring to the type of paper your Home plans will be printed on. The interesting thing to note here is that "Reproducible copies" or "Vellums" are obsolete for the most part. Due to the prevalence of Oversize or Engineering Xerox machines. A "Vellum" is a thick opaque semi-transparent sheet of paper used, in the old days, for drafting all sorts of plans from Airplanes to Oil Rigs and Of course Home plans or Buildings. In this day and age "Vellums" have been replaced by "Xerox" copies. Xerox copies are also referred to as bond copies.
